Reflection on Growth Plan
Melissa Sand
2.1 Goal 1: Statement*
1.A- To align with SLO goals 90% of my Exploring Digital Art students will meet
Growth Targets. Students will demonstrate technical design knowledge,
self-assess, compare and contrast, anlyze works from art history, and reflect on
their own work. See SLO spreadsheet submitted 4/17/14
1.B - To align with SLO goals 90% of my Exploring Digital Art students will meet
Growth Targets. The core knowledge and skills that students are expected to
attain during the interval of instruction will be based on the production of
digital artworks with strong compositions using Adobe Photoshop software as well
as reflecting thoroughly through self-assessments and peer assessments. Students
will need to learn key vocabulary and understand the tools necessary to create
carefully crafted digital artworks. Finally, they will need to be able to
explain how these artworks could be displayed for particular reasons or explain
how digital tools make achieving some images easier or more finely crafted than
more traditional tools and processes. See SLO spreadsheet submitted 4/17/14
2.2 Goal 1: Evidence indicators*
1.A- Indicators of evidence include the use of authentic formative and summative
assessments through the SLO interval of instruction to drive instruction and
monitor student progress. See Attached Documents in eTPES- Instruction and Assessment
1.B- Evidence will be collected throughout the course using a similar rubric for
all projects. Individual students are receiving written feedback on areas that
need more focus or improvement. Student growth will be monitored by analyzing
rubric components throughout the interval of the SLO. See Attached Documents in eTPES- Instruction
and Assessment
